The Pail Mall Gazette SAYS there is no

The Pail Mall Gazette says there is nc
redress for any person wrongiully accused
by a policeman under the English law. I,
is led to this conclusion by the failure Of
the effort to punish a policeman in Lon
o who traductd the character of a Miss
Cass, whom he arrested on the street on
suspicion that she was "soliciting." The
utmost efforts OF the police department to
sustain is minion and defame Miss Cass
could only show that she had been frivol.
QUA and irdiscreet in her conduct before
goi, 6 t. London and there was no proof
OF anything improper in her conduct on the
evening OF her arrest. But in spite OF
strenuous exertions OF the part
OF friends of Miss Cass to obtain redress
for the unjustifable injury done her the
police department in London was too
powerful. and although public sentiment
out idle official circles was strongly against
tie lolii eman. he is sustained by the
courts. A~nimmense power is welded by the
police in the cities OF Europe as we'll as this,
and in the nature of things it is frequently
arbitrary. But there ought to be some
way Of Furnishing a policeman who over
zealously goes out Of his way to make an
arrest of person OF apparently decent be-
havior. Moderation and good sense are
q combination of qualities hard to find in
the average individual, but they are a
necessary adjunct in the makeup Of a
model policeman. And the force now pre-
serving the peace in Butte comes as near to
meeting every requirement in this respect
as can be found anywhere. They may
make apparen.' " arbitrary arrests, but
the citizens will find in every instance that
they can sustain them completely as their
discrimination in this respect deserves the
warmest commentator.

SMASHED TO A PULP,
Joe Miles Fails Down the Gagnon Shaft
and Is Instas thy Killed.

Last night, at 1883, Joe Miles slipped
off the slip in the Gagnon mine, when
within twenty feet Of the surface, and fell
to the bottom Of the shaft, a distance of
$50 feet. When picked up it was found
that his head was smashed to a pulp, but
strange to say, he was not mangled other
wise. A jury was ~empaneled by Coroner
Amsden, and evidence was taken proving
that the deceased had been sick during the
day, vomiting, and that he had been adj
vised by his doctor to quit mining, on &C.
count OF bad health. The verdict of the
jury was: chat deceased came
to his death by falling from
the slip in the shaft Of the
Gagnon mine in an accidental manner, and
that in our belief the fall was caused by
sickness, and without any fault of the
Gagnon Company" The deceased was
highly esteemed by the Superintendent OF
the mine, as a faithful and efficient work.
man. He had worked there off and on for
eight years. He leaves a wife and child
and an aged mother in Butte. a brother in
and another in the east. He was /
about ~ years OF age. Another brother |
was Killed in the Parrot mine last july.

The strike of laborers in Helena against
the Woolston Company is not ordered by
the Knights OF Labor. They have nothing
to do with it. The meeting of the NAL
contents was held in knights OF Labor hall
but it was rented by them just as it would
be by any private body of men. The
strike is said to be only the o OF a few
mischief makers among the laborers as the
majority of them are satisfied with the
pay since the work is not Of a kind hard to
learn or difficult of performance. 1t is
stated in the Herald that the company is
paying $3.50, $2.75 and So per day fol-
various grades Of labor, and that applica'

A Queer Test of Strength.

Years ago when l lived in Michigan,
says correspondent, the sport or test of
strength known as finger pulling was no
uncommon contest among so called ath-
ietcs. Indeed, it became quite as popu-
lar as sprinting or wrestling at the
present time, and the champion finger
puller was regarded with very much the
same admiration now entertained for
crack baseball player. One man at
Saginaw had never known defeat and
was cock champion of the Northwest.
The contests were conducted by each
man gripping the others fingers in the
manner known to children as butchers
grip" the winner being he who pulled
out his adversary's fingers to their natural
position. Finally some one imported a
Canadian Indian to strive against the
Saginaw champion, and he was re-
doubtable antagonist. for he had met with
an accident that had crippled his right
hand, the tendons of the fingers being
contracted so that they could not be
opened without breaking them. Well,
the struggle came, but the Indian did
not win, for the Saginaw man braced
himself and pulled so hard that he actual
ly pulled the Canadians fingers by the
roots. This is true story, and one, I
think, not generally known toprofes-
SIGNALS of muscular tendencies.
